How could I make it an inline function? It is used in console/bitblit.c,
nvidia/nvidia.c,
riva/fbdev.c and softcursor.c.

Something like below, which has the advantange that there is still only 
one implementation of the function and if it's still slower, we really 
need to check the compiler.

I do get better numbers with this, not much, but better than Knut's (5ms), and
definitely much better than the old uninlined one (100ms).

Andrew, don't get this yet.  I'll incorporate this with the bit_putcs()
breakup that I'm currently doing.

Roman, okay if you have a 'Signed-off-by' line?
